Spraying in Willis Tucker Park resurfaces debate over herbicides
SNOHOMISH — Two signs at Willis D. Tucker Community Park troubled some residents on the morning of Aug. 14.
Staked just beyond the outer edge of the park’s baseball fields, the signs said blackberry plants nearby had been treated with the herbicides glyphosate and 2,4-D several days earlier.
When resident Norm Hagen saw the signs, he got upset. County staff told him they didn’t spray at the park, he said.
“I’m just really concerned and I’m pissed,” Hagen said. “We use that park three to four times a week.”
